RallyPoint Survey: Tobacco Use

After a decade, I quit chewing tobacco on 1 Feb 11, while deployed to Iraq. I am nearly 4 years quit. I consider it one of my greatest accomplishments.

I smoked for 20 years and after a battle with bronchitis and sleepless nights I chose to quit. I went to a local Vape Store called Vapelife in Fayetteville, NC. I started with 24mg of nicotine and aggressively forced myself off the nicotine and within six months I was at 0mg and stopped. Do I still crave cigarettes yes but with will power I have overcome it. My last cigarette was July 20,2013 at 2330HRS. I use an app called Time to Quit Smoke which tracks various stats for example to date I have saved 2119.92 by not smoking.

I am a anti-smoker activist.  One parent died from cancer, another is a cancer survivor with a poor quality of life--because of smoking.

One thing I really respect dad for was realizing that the smoke smell affected us five kids and he quit. Determinedly and resolutely. That is a truly admirable act. The valuation of his children to the habit of smoking. Again, no problem with smokers I just chose a different place to be.

Never in my life but I never think bad unless they blow the smoke in my face. We are all good.

For whatever reason, I've never smoked except for about a week in Basic. In those days, they'd give you smoke breaks but that's all you could do. Stand there and smoke. My mom and dad both smoked when I was young and that's probably what killed my dad. My wife does not smoke and our son does. Go figure.

Never used it with any degree of regularity. A cigar once a year on the Birthday of the Marine Corps.

Scotch is a different story..........and its "smokey."

I am a complete nicotine junkie.
I have tried every form of cessation made with limited success.(quit twice for a year each)
I believe the only way that I will quit is if I am placed in a chemical coma for six months.

Not a big drinker either.

Been dipping Copenhagen since I was 12..it's still just as delicious.
